The engineering standards for playgrounds in secondary schools and their role in achieving the educational goals of physical education and sports classes in Oum El-Bouaghi

Abstract

The scientific purpose of this study was to establish a scientific connection between sports and architectural engineering sciences towards uncovering the reality of the formative engineering of sports fields in secondary school in Oum El Bouaghi, and their impact on achieving educational goals for physical education classes in the educational curriculum. For this purpose, the authors relied on the descriptive approach, given the nature of the study variables, and the sample was randomly selected electronically from (70) secondary school physical education teachers. The authors also used a scientifically standardized questionnaire, the ideas of which were rooted in the research of Rabouh (2016), consisting of (45) positive items distributed over three main axes for the desired educational goals in physical education classes. The psychometric characteristics of the questionnaire were acceptable, with a self-acceptance of (0.84) and consistency Cronbach's alpha (0.71). The study results revealed that the four school playgrounds described according to modernity, update duration, field quality, surface, and coloring were less than the level that physical education teachers aspire to. Furthermore, it was found that the engineering standards of sports fields play a significant role in achieving educational goals. Hence, we had to formulate some future proposals, where it was important to involve the student in the engineering construction process, which may enhance common perspectives between sports sciences and urban sciences in their educational interpretations.
